What are the aesthetic characteristics of Chinese and western traditional music?

China traditional music takes "harmony" as its aesthetic value orientation, "emptiness" as its pursuit realm, and "rhyme" as its beauty, and it has developed into a world-recognized exquisite and elegant music. China's music has its own aesthetic characteristics. First of all, it is a musical aesthetic form based on linear thinking. Secondly, China's music embodies an artistic conception of "attaching importance to emotion", "center of gravity" and ethereal. Thirdly, the concept of Taoism has also had a lot of influence on the development of traditional music in China, which is mainly reflected in the aesthetic pursuit of the integration of things and me and the blending of scenes. Fourthly, China's instrumental music lacks independence. Due to the differences between China and the West in traditional culture, religious concepts, audience's aesthetic psychology and tragedy theory, there are huge aesthetic differences between Chinese and Western classical dramas. This difference can be shown through the conflict between the characters in the classical tragic works and the drama. In western music, the highest musical form is sonata form. To measure whether a work constitutes the concept and genre of symphony, it is very important that a movement in this work must be written in sonata form, because the structural principle of sonata form is the unity of opposites. "Sonata form" is based on a constantly changing process, such as the presentation, intensification and resolution of contradictions, so such a structure can easily reflect the significance of a drama or a certain philosophy. This question is more professional. As a layman, I dare not speculate. I'll give you some information, hoping it will help you.
